It's good, but it doesn't care about the lore so people got mad for a while. Just like what bethesda does.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

From what I 've seen the lore is more than acceptable. If people got mad over that, they have some serious issues in their lives.

The only lore it changes is shady sands and the year could just be a production error so there's a chance nothing got retconned at all

It assumes the BoS ending from fallout 4 because the airship is named the same and power armor jetpacks.

power armor jetpacks

Wasn't even a jetpack (at least in the last episode), fucking Guy uses a helmet-less T-45 with IRON-MAN HAND ROCKETS

WHAT

Lol, no, thats just the big one that raises some questions about the timeline, if you think the Fallout show properly follows even the lore of F4 you're not paying attention.

Just off the top of my head right now while I shit:

  • Ghouls don't take drugs to not turn feral

  • Where the FUCK is the NCR, the country? It wasn't just Shady Sands surrounded by ruined LA, it was an actual nation-state that had civilization and laws and was generally less shitty than the rest of the wasteland

  • Mr. House was NOT at some pre-war meeting where Vault-Tec admitted to their vault tests AND that they'd drop the bomb. If he was his actions as explain in FNV no longer add up.

  • for that matter, that vault-tec meeting scene at ALL

  • No, the Enclave are NOT still around with enough power to still have scientists and camps and shit, we've destroyed how many of their HQs now?

I could go on if I thought about it but its wipe time

The ghoul drug thingy is actually a really good lore addition. It recontextualizes a lot of the games in an interesting way. If ghouls have to take these drugs and make enough money to afford them, the implications on morality of previous ghoul characters is fascinating.

And about the vault tech meeting: this plot point is actually older than new vegas. They took that from the scrapped fallout movie that they wanted to make in the Interplay/Black Isle era. I thought it was absolutely awesome that they researched fallout enough to even know about this obscure thing

In the Vault 4 classroom the founding of NCR is shown and the year Shady Sands became the capitol is mentioned. I don't know why the rest of the NCR should play a role in season 1, they clearly lost control over that area

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I've already watched the show but maybe a spoiler tag?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The only valid one listed was Mr House. I didn't realize that guy in the meeting was him but if it is, that is weird

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Really? I'm playing their FNV now and have meet Mr. House. That part seems to match up pretty well.

new vegas destroyed the brotherhood of steel lore because they lost to the fucking ncr who didnt have power armor. garbage game that shits on the lore

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Numbers. The NCR vastly outnumbered the Brotherhood and wore them down. The West Coast Brotherhood has always been isolationist and every member lost added up. The NCR could afford the loss of men, the Brotherhood could not. They didn't "ruin the lore" when the ideology of the West Coast Brotherhood (who have been a thing since the first two games) is the same as it ever was and put them in a really bad spot. They never would have had a chance against a force as large as the NCR no matter how much power armor they had. It doesn't make you invincible.

well if that lore break can be explained, then i guess the show's can be explained
